Time to head out, I'll check back in when settled with a smoke and beverage.
Later Dave smoke something of quality!
That's all I do.

You guys using a free ship cpn or VIP pricing as well?
Atlantic Dave already checked and no VIP on the specials and no FS code found.  Buy $199 and shipping is free! 

But chit they are almost giving the damn things away.
Correct.  If you do buy regularly, particularly boxes, Atlantic VIP is a good deal.  For example, I saved $30 on a box of New Worlds (over CI price), good prices on Room 101's and I got a box of Tat El Triunfador Original Lancero's for $135.  Full dislosure, there is little or no discount on some lines, like AF.  Figure I broke even before my third box purchase.  Free shipping threshold is $150, so I hold back on purchases and take advantage of that.

Now with all that said, as Dave mentioned, there is no additional discount on sale items.
Pimpin' for Atlantic Dave or PADave for short.
For sure CB.... just waiting on my commission check.

...and I see they have the Las Calaveras coronas... box $210. Any discount on these, Dave?
Not much on these.... only $5 / box.

The Melanio maduro was good but it didn't blow my socks off.  The V lancero will have to be the next Oliva cigar I smoke to see if I can rekindle the admiration I once had.  I'm starting to think I've outgrown them.

Flor de Selva and Manhattan made with this RYE whiskey I'm trying out.
Cigar is starting out nice and this is just about the best Manhattan I've had. Thanx to Fred Bob for the cigar and Joe for the whisky wisdom. How about them Twins! Great day to be at the ballpark. I got free parking one block from the stadium for giving the guy a Griffins robusto. Kids had fun and to top it off it was dollar dog day. Now home relaxing on the back deck. Yes, BOTL life is good.

V's have changed and not what they once were.

I think your problem is the maduro.  Stick with the Sumatra.  Also more consistent draw vs the regular V.
